Social Studies: 

- This week we finished the STEM project on Ancient China Zipline. The students worked hard on this and have some wonderful finished projects. 

-To help each student get familiar with the  Ancient Greeks we did a few activities.  Each student did a vocabulary activity, began working on a  map of Ancient Greece, and searched for information on an Ancient Greece website.  

-I assigned the STEM project for Ancient Greece. Each student will make either a Catapult or Chariot. (Their choice :)) The directions should come home today so they can get started on it asap. It is due March 12th. 

ELA

-The students have been working really hard on writing their Tornado paper. Please ask your child how they are doing on this paper and have them show you how far they have gotten. The typed final copy of the paper is due Friday, March 2nd. 

-Center work: The students are working on answering a writing prompt about the Olympics, Figure of Speech coloring activity, and Words their Way. The center folder is due March 6th. They do work on this in class any many times are able to finish it during their center time. 

Hello!!

I want to send out a quick update.

The Severe Weather Research Paper (Tornado Paper) is well underway. I gave the students one extra day to continue working and finish up the graphic organizer section of the paper. So the graphic organizer is due Thursday the 15th.

The purpose in having the students do this step is to help them actually find information and understand what they are actually going to write a paper on before they begin writing.

The students have a Words Their Way spelling test tomorrow, the 15th. Also, their center folders are due on Tuesday the 20th.

In Social Studies they have been working hard to complete their STEM Great Wall and Zipline group projects.

We will begin studying Ancient Greece on Tuesday.

Remember no school Friday the 16th or Monday the 19th.

As always please contact me with any questions or concerns,
